We have officially entered the "perfomance stage" of life. Riley's school is very muscial (which is nice as he has always been musical too) and they often perform little songs for different events, like Christmas, Easter and more recently Grandparent's Day at school. Riley is also doing Speech and Drama which is of course encouraging his need to perform. A few weeks ago we watched a Justin Timberlake concert on TV which Riley really enjoyed (now there is a born performer) and when the concert was over Riley was really excited and decided that I should go to Montecasino (a very large casino and entertainment venue) and hire out the venue for him to put on a show (his repertoire includes When I'm 64, I think I'll wear for Easter.... and When Santa got stuck up the chimney). He was most upset with me (the worst Mother in the world) for not running straight out and hiring Montecasino for him and selling tickets to all of our friends to see him perform. So he put on a very convincing show for Brad and I, including runs into the audience etc and for a microphone he used a roll of wrapping paper. So today we were at the toyshop and he sees this microphone and just had to have it. The minute we got home he set it up and has been singing up a storm ever since (some days there is just not enough Panadol.......). I took a coupld of quick pics of him and thought that I would share them here.

Hi,Riley looks really great,he is really getting into the groove of things there.You obviously have a little performer on your hands.It brings back memories of your childhood and all the concerts you used to put on with your brothers and Toni and solo performances to collect money for yourself.I hope Riley makes you pay to see him sing!!!!!!That would be so funny.It is sad that I couldn't be there for Grandparents day,I would have loved that.Riley looks so grown up now.
Firstly, mum, I think that it was me that you are thinking of that used to put on shows with Toni, but i do remember hearing that char used to do that with the boys too. Secondly, how much more grown up does Riley look now? That is amazing. Hopefully he can sing up a storm for me when i come over.. Hee heee.
